Not a Balloon.

or the past week bright light in the
heavens has been viewed nightly by hun
dreds of people in this town, under the
impression that it is an electric light sent
up in balloon at Williamsport. It ap-
pears in the northwest at point that
might be over that city. 1t is visible soon
after sunset, and gradually falls until about
ten o'clock, when it disappears below the
horizon. A Wilkes-Barre paper first pub
lished the story Of the electric balloon, and
stated that the light was so bright that its
rays were reflected on the river at that
place, eighty miles from Wiliamsport 1t
is almost needless to state tn at this alleged
electric light is nothing less than Venus,
the bright and beautiful evening star
whose rays reach the earth through mill
ions of miles of space.
We have the information direct from
Williamsport that no electric light has
been sent up in a balloon at that place, and
no such project has been contemplated
The people of that city are much astonshed
to learn from outside sources that they
have had lowering over their heads for the
past week an electric lamp two miles up
IN the air, that 'throws rays Of light on
the river at Wilkes-Ba and illuminates
| the country for miles around" The story
| was thin one, and bore conclusive ev-
| licences of impossiblity upon its face, but
nevertheless, many people believed 1t, and
Venus received more attention for few
nights than has been bestowed upon her
since the days when all the neurological
gods admired her beauty 1t is reported
that several learned professors here leveled
telescope at the disputed object, and
failed to agree as to wha! it was; and at
least one editor that we know of was found
after dark with big spy-glass trying 10
discriminate between the mysteries OF the
heavens and those of Edison. A number
of heated discussions have occurred be-
| tween those who insisted on the balloon
story, and those who thought otherwise,
an taken all in all, Venus and the News
Dealer have aifordeda topic Of conversation
all along the north and west branches dur
ing the past week.

Interstate picnic Exhibition.

The fourteenth annual Interstate Picnic
Exhibition, under the auspices Of the
Patrons Of Husbandry, will open at Will
iams' Grove, Monday, August Goth, and
promises to be unprecedented in the his
tory Of these exhibitions. Varied and ex-
tensive as was the display last year, it will
be greatly surpassed the present season.
A large number Of new and handsome per.
manent buildings will be erected, which,
together with other substantial improve.
ments that have been made, will add great
ly to the beauty of the place. Thirteen
| years ago, when the Patrons of Husbandry
to the number of few hundred, came to
this spot to hold pleasant reunion, and
talk over the work already done and ar
range plans for the future, little did they
think that they were even then laying the
foundation for the greatest gathering o
farmers, manufacturers, and all interested
in agricultural pursuits, ever known in the
United States. That few hundred has be
come over hundred thousand, represent
ing twenty eight States Of the Uuion.

The National Drill and Encamp-
meut at washington.

The National Drill and Encampment,
which opens'in Washington May 23d, con-
tinuing until the Both, will be one OF the
most interesting events that ever occurred
in the history of Americas militia. Its in
ception was the outgrowth of that general
desire to make the volunteer military Of
the several States more effective, and as q
step in that direction this competitive con-
test was arranged, and valuable prizes of
cash, medals and trophies, offered as re-
wards for excellence in drill. Washington
was very appropriately selected as the
place, the citizens responded literally, the
War Department lent its aid, and the sue
cess of the enterprise is assured beyond
any possibility of doubt. Over thirty of
the States and Territories will be repre-
sented by military organizations, and the
daily contests, embracing all the branches
of military service from the manual of
arms to brigade drill, will be intensely in-
teresting to every one. The cash prizes
amount to $26,5OO. The camp will be
pitched on the grounds surrounding the
Washington Monument, and the drill
ground will be marked out on the campus
between the Monument and the White
House.
The universal interest which will be fell
in the drill in all parts of the country, and
the excellent opportunity it will afford fol
visiting the National Capital at the most
beautiful season of the year, will draw
thousands to Washington. The city, noted
as the most beautiful capital Of the world
never appears to so good an advantage al
in the first blush Of spring, nor is ther,
any pleasanter time to visit the parks, gar
dens and public buildings than this. AL
the public property is open to the inspec
tion of visitors.
| In order to accommodate visitors tn,
| Pennsylvania Railroad Co. will sell excur
sion tickets, May 81 to 81, good to return
until Both, from all stations on its lines, a
reduced rates. In addition special traini
al special rates will be run on certain dayi
from various sections of the Pennsylvania
| syst IN, the details OF which will be an
nov ceG by posters and published in tn,
newspapers.

Very many persons, men, women aud

outdoor exercise, will read with pleasure
of a revival of the excellent game OF cro-
quet. Nothing but freak Of fashion caus-
cd croquet to fall as 1t has done into inno-
cuous desuetude. The very fact that 1t
was equally suitable for everybody was
doubtless one reason why 1t became unfash-
ionablc; but it was too good game to be
lost, and 1t is not strange that it is coming
up again. We may hope that in the com.
ing summer the once familiar sound Of the
mallet and ball will again be heard in many
a modest garden, II not also on many a
lnrdly lawn

There are some dog fanciers in Benton.
1t is rumored that one of them recently
sent away for pair of water spaniels, but
when they came he was not entirely salts
fled with his purchase, as the dogs looked
very much like common Beaton ours.
They ought to have been full bloods, as
they came over the water. They were
hauled across the creek on the Benton
stage, having been shipped at point some
where near Patterson's mill.
